This Monday’s Serie A actions sees Fiorentina make the trip to face Inter Milan at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza or the San Siro as it is alternatively known. This is a crucial match for both sides as neither one wants to drop from where they are in the standings.
Both teams come into this match with identical form, three wins, a loss and a draw. Fiorentina have gone unbeaten in four out of five of their last matches, including a three game consecutive winning streak which has seen them beating Inter Milan as recently as last Thursday. That loss put an end to their five match unbeaten streak so they will have to try and bounce back in this one. This Monday seems like it will be a back and forth affair with a fair amount of goals on the side.
Formation: 3-5-2
Predicted Line-Up: Yann Sommer; Alessandro Bastoni, Stefan De Vrij, Benjamin Pavard; Federico Dimarco, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Nicolò Barella, Matteo Darmian; Lautaro Martínez (c), Marcus Thuram
Inter Milan have had a great start to the season, finding themselves in a title race once more, something that they compete for every season without fail. After 23 games they sit in second place with 15 wins, two losses and six draws. Those matches have left them with 51 points, three points behind Serie A leaders Napoli. Stepping up this season for I Nerazzurri has been striker Marcus Thuram. He is relishing in his second season at Inter, finding the back of the net 13 times, making him the second top scorer in the league, accompanied with four assists. It isn’t just Thuram that can provide goals in this Inter Milan squad though as they have a plethora of players capable of grabbing a goal this Monday, players like Lautaro Martínez with 12 goal involvements and Nicolò Barella with eight.
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Predicted Line-Up: David De Gea; Robin Gosens, Luca Ranieri, Marin Pongračić, Dodô; Amir Richardson, Rolando Mandragora; Lucas Beltrán, Albert Gudmundsson, Andrea Colpani; Moise Kean
Fiorentina have had a fantastic first half of the season, finding themselves holding a UEFA Champions League place. After 23 games they sit in fourth place with 12 wins, five losses and six draws. Those matches have left them with 42 points, sharing that tally with fifth placed Lazio but it is goal difference that keeps them higher up the Serie A table. In the goals for I Viola has been striker Moise Kean who has netted 15 times and registered two assists this season in the 22 games that he has featured in. He has placed himself above opponent’s Marcus Thuram’s number and is only one goal behind Atalanta’s Mateo Retegui in the Serie A Golden Boot race. This Monday could be decided by which striker is more on form as it was last Thursday where Kean was the clear difference maker. He can more than well do that again for the second time in less than a week.
The last five faceoffs have been split in the favour of Inter Milan, winning three out of the five matches, leaving the remaining two matches ending with three points going the way of Fiorentina. This fixture usually produces a lot of goals and that doesn’t look like it will stop this Monday.
